@linlee I’m due in 2 weeks. I have refused to buy maternity anything and it’s been fine. I did flowy dresses, oversized sweaters with Roxy Oceanside pants because I hate leggings and flowy shirts with Roxy Oceanside shorts. I can wear everything I bought well after the baby arrives and nothing...

@charity78777 Breastfeeding was the one time I was grateful for my unsensitive nipples. Like, you can pinch them hard and I'm usually just "stop pinching my nipples." AND IT STILL HURT IN THE BEGINNING. I'm also not looking forward to teeth, seems masochistic to me.

@lenka I got a 'hi" at three months old. It was an accident but it was so darn cute. She sounds like she is actually trying to figure out talking now at 4 months but isn't that close to talking.

@katrina2017 Right, even the pediatrician said that we shouldn't start her on solids until she is sitting up on her own. Mine is 4 months and not sitting on her own. She has the strength but not the coordination. I'm sure some babies are, mine isn't yet. But also mine is pulling herself up to...

@daniel108 This is huge! My merits were always overlooked or overshadowed by my looks. I got straight A's all through high school and it was still mostly "you're so pretty". Something I did absolutely no work for was somehow more valuable than things I worked my ass off for?! Infuriating. I...

@tjschaffer My pediatrician suggested it when I started falling asleep breastfeeding at 5 weeks. We reviewed all of the guidelines and executed everything as advised. We stopped bedsharing most of the night because LO and I sleep better with LOninnthe crib around 3 months. We still do some...

@lccpmoouc My SO isn't that bad but he has his moments. This is the phrase that always makes me think. Would I be okay with anyone talking to my daughter like this? I also say the same thing to him when he is in his moods. I'm forcing therapy as a result and he is seeing that I'm serious and...

@kattty222i I was in a similar situation at 5 weeks. Not as bad but similar. She grew a ton and was cluster feeding and wouldn't sleep alone. Thankfully she would sleep next to me so it wasn't as extreme. She also grew out of it by 8 weeks and started sleeping normally in her bassinet with the...

@testallthings Sorry my daughter is running through every phase a whole week early.

@testallthings This is the separation anxiety phase, it should pass in a week or two. This is why I'm r/oneanddone. I could not imagine doing this with another kid running around. It's hard enough to get any time for my cat and all he wants to do is sit with momma.

@lcnolen2022 How big do they need to be for that?

@wrshamblinjr I use this as an opportunity for squats. Gotta get my exercises in somehow. I just turn to the side, squat and reach around to the bottom of the tub. Then repeat on the other side as needed.

@dreamer30 I tok had to learn to take care of myself for my milk supply to be adequate. My SO was a huge help. First always hand her water, electrolytes or tea with some sort of galactagogue (I prefer chamomile or ginger, LO prefers ginger in my diet). No matter what she is doing ask her if she...

@evanlooksuptothealmighty I feel ya. I just found out I dislocated my rib from cough/sneezing about a week and a half ago. I'm so sore from having no space in my body that the ache seemed rational. When I did it I almost cried and told my partner that I needed a break from exercise for a few...

@wrshamblinjr Yeah don't cook anything like bacon. I reached for a pan at the grabbing stage while my bio mom was cooking and got Bacon grease all over me. It's my first memory, the pain was excruciating. 2nd degree burns and a few scars. I would be ok with steaming, boiling, crock pot...

@meanstreak60 Are they dentists?

@melista Yes, a main reason I didn't want kids was the societal expectations. In couples therapy we talked about it and I specifically said "I would love the dad job, it's great. It's like a step parent, a fun aunt or a grandparent. The mom job is the worst with all of that pressure." Edit to...

@doran Yep it will help PP too. I didn't want to touch anything down there with a ten foot pole, gentle water was barely tolerable but it needs to be cleaned somehow.

@clemdawg Mines 2 months as well and I'm in the same boat. She will barely take a bottle either so it looks like we will be EBF for a long time. My goal was also 6months but my new goal is to never give her formula, always breast milk. I'll see if I can do it. She breaks my heart every time I...

@neuroclusterbrain This happened to my sister. She has always avoided the dentist. I'm at 4mo pp and I'm trying to get my vehicle back to schedule a cleaning. I NEED it because having a baby is causing me to forego a ton of dental care.
